Anne Isabella Noel King1 to Faraday2   15 June 18513

6 Gt Cumberland Place | June 15th

Dear Sir

I hoped to find an opportunity last Friday evening4, to thank you for your kind letter, but I was obliged to give up all attempts to reach you. I have got Harris’s book on electricity5, and shall read it with great interest; it is to you that I owe my desire to become more nearly acquainted with this interesting branch of science.

Believe me yours truly | & much obliged | Annabella King
